The New Hampshire Attorney General's office is investigating a suspicious death in Manchester.

A man's body was found early Sunday morning in Manchester's Prouts Park, which includes a ball field, a walking path and a playground. It's outside the inner city in a residential area, which is why parents in the neighborhood are even more concerned for the safety of their kids.

"We moved from a rental in downtown Manchester because of violence and drugs," said Lauren Spitsberg. "We thought we were moving to a safe area, and we would like to stay here longer, but I definitely would reconsider if the violence and the crime continues."

"The extent of what just happened is pretty shocking and scary," said Eric McCahon. "Little worried about coming out today."
